Sharon Harper CEO and Co-Founder Plaza Companies As accomplishments go in Metro Phoenix commercial real estate, it is hard to top the profile of Sharon Harper, chairman, CEO and co-founder of Plaza Companies. Approaching 40 years at the helm of the mixed-use, office, medical office and senior-living powerhouse, Harper has succeeded with determination, adaptation, intelligence and old-fashioned hard work. “Plaza Companies was founded in 1982, and so I entered the industry at a time of real estate crisis,” she says. “We needed solid and financeable projects that could be successful, in spite of the awful and unpredictable market. We have always taken pride in our ability to navigate the volatility of the CRE sector.”
